    I founded Dart Apparel in 2019. Dart Apparel is a contracting company that focuses on apparel design and development. My goal at Dart Apparel is to help companies and individuals with their design and development needs. Dart Apparel can fill a need for apparel companies during times of transition and growth, allowing companies to have access to professional work done by an industry expert, without going through the trouble of hiring and relocating a new employee. Individuals seeking help also can have their dreams brought to life through Dart, and are encouraged to reach out. Specialties include computer pattern-making, conceptual design, technical design and development, sourcing, construction libraries, grade rules, drawing and other design services per request. What makes me stand out from others within the apparel industry is my strong background in small, medium, and large companies. Working in each gave me unique skills and experiences, and helped me learn the challenges of doing business on three different scales. This has given me the ability to; design, develop, manufacture, and sell almost any good, on any scale, while maintaining a clear vision and realistic path to success. ​ I have also founded a Maternity & Baby Apparel Company called RASKANA in 2021 (RASKANA.com) . As the founder and CEO of RASKANA, I inspire to design fashionable and functional maternity and children's apparel that is unique but practical for real moms. The designs are personally designed and developed by me, a mother of 4 (4 and under). My focus is equally on pattern-making and fit, in conjunction with design, in order to create products that fit before, during and after pregnancy, that are equally fashionable and functional for pregnant and postpartum mothers. ​ My unique set of skills also comes from my extensive background and experience in sewing & patterning. I started sewing when I was 7 years old, and soon began to teach classes in my mother’s sewing machine dealership. In this dealership, my mother and I worked alongside each other: learning, teaching, and traveling to Husqvarna Viking international sewing conventions together. In high school, I dual enrolled in art classes, and went on to study Fashion Design in College where I received my BFA in Fashion Design from The Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago. During high school and college, I never left the industry, working hard in upholstery and interior design to pay my way. Being a passionate expert in the apparel industry, I am confident in leading projects and delivering end-to-end apparel development with high expectations. Combining my degree in fashion design, growing up in a sewing machine dealership, and my work experiences, I am able to deliver quality services and products within the competitive apparel market. I love to champion new projects and challenges and thrive within creative and fast-paced environments. Hard work, combined with passion for finding efficiencies and best practices, has allowed me to effectively manage competing priorities on very short time-lines.

    Hi! I'm an experienced lingerie designer and pattern maker, and I also work as a university lecturer for Lingerie & Corsetry. I'm passionate about lingerie because it can empower people and help them create their own identity. I've worked for several lingerie and bridalwear brands as well as for bespoke clients, and I currently run my own couture lingerie brand. That kind of work experience has given me a broad skill set in pattern drafting and fitting. I'm also aware of the challenges that small and mid-size companies experience, so I'll be able to help you through all steps of the process: from design and fabric research to product development, pattern making, grading, and the creation of professional tech packs that factories can understand. I'm really excited to work with you and create high-quality products that your customers will love!

    Freelance fashion designer & illustrator. As a professional designer, I have the knowledge to provide a high quality service to my clients. I can provide fashion sketches, T-shirt print designs, repeating prints for fabric, and Spec Sheets including all technical information for production. I have worked in the fashion design and graphics field for nine years. I look at fashion design as a complex field. The fashion field is constantly changing, and I make an effort to explore it every day. I bring different ideas, including seamless print design and accessory design, into life. Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, paper, watercolour, markers and pencils are all effective and interchangeable tools that I use to bring my designs to life. After finishing university (majoring in fashion design) and working in the fashion field, I decided to pursue further education and completed additional study in prints and patterns for fabric, and in draping (on mannequins). This further education has helped me to better envision any flat drawing I create, every clothing sketch or idea in full volume perspective. I can also help with the following types of projects: illustrations, colouring books, trend boards, prints,trend research, prognoses and mood boards in fashion field. Thank you for your time and I hope to work with you soon!

    Having always worked for small companies is a point of pride for me. Smaller companies have to work with what they have and when you have just as many departments as a large company, but half the staff, you as an employee get to pick up many skills inside and outside of your area of expertise. A few duties outside of design I have preformed for former employers you will not find listed on my resume are blogger, sales, customer service, delivery driver, accountant, and social media marketing. You will also not see on my resume that I am tenacious, kind, hardworking. The greatest skill I will bring to any company is not patternmaking, sewing, or anything apparel related. It is my self starting spirit. As an employer you will have to rain me in every once in a while, but I think it is much easier to pull someone back than to push them forward. It might take me a walk around the block to build up confidence, but I will give any task set before me everything I have. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to working together. Sincerely, Alexandra Loverink
